<< I don't believe the the thermal condition is reached often or at all with 1.5 GHz P4. I have no evidence, I just think someone would have caught it by now. I think it is relatively simple to write a piece of code to monitor the real clock speed. >> So it's basically a non factor now, but when they try to crank up to 1.7 ghz at .18 it might (or might not) be a larger factor. That'd be interesting if a 1.7ghz was slower then a 1.5 at times because it had to spend too much time at 850 cooling down.
